Day 1 - Women’s Skateboard Park
Sixteen-year-old Australian skateboarder Arisa Trew (XC Tokyo) continued her remarkable rise in Women's Skateboard Park, capturing her ninth career X Games gold medal and 10th overall medal with a winning Run 2 score of 92.66. Her best run showcased a deep bag of tricks on the Tower Bridge extension and throughout the park, including a 540 onto the extension, frontside 50-50, frontside tailslide, backside 360, frontside Smith grind, backside 540 over the channel, and a standout switch McTwist—an element no rider, male or female, has landed in park competition.
“I’m just super happy that I can be a part of inspiring the next generation of riders,” said Trew. “I’ve always been a competitive person, and I always want to do my best and push myself to the next level. Getting a triple gold is a big goal of mine. I’ve had two years to try to do it and I want to get to there.”
Sky Brown (XC São Paulo) earned silver with an 85.00, highlighted by a frontside nosegrind tailgrab on the Tower Bridge extension, Madonna, kickflip frontside air over the jump box, and a backside 540 over the hip, while Raicca Ventura (XC São Paulo) secured bronze with a consistent 81.00 run featuring Indy airs, Smith grinds, a backside 360 over the bump, and a 50-50 on the rainbow rail to round out a highly competitive final.

Teen skateboard phenom Arisa Trew (XC Tokyo) continued her dominance in women’s skateboarding, following up Friday’s Women’s Skateboard Park gold with another victory in Skateboard Vert Best Trick. The win marked her second gold medal of the weekend and 10th career X Games gold, tying her with Lindsey Jacobellis for the most X Games gold medals by a woman in X Games history. It also tied Trew with Gui Khury (XC São Paulo) for the most X Games medals ever earned by a teenager. Trew’s Switch McTwist in Run 1 proved untouchable, holding up as the winning trick throughout the competition and securing yet another milestone in her career.
“The Switch McTwist was my safety trick and it went well because I got it for my first try,” said Trew. “I was really trying to get my switch body varial 5 because I never landed it before, but I didn't get it, unfortunately!”
Trew's new teammate, 15-year-old Mizuho Hasegawa (XC Tokyo) earned silver with a massive alley-oop judo 540 in her first run, soaring approximately six feet above the vert ramp, while 11-year-old Mia Kretzer (XC LA) rounded out the podium with bronze, landing a stylish one-foot McTwist.

The first showdown of the day featured a stacked field of eight elite women ranging in age from 14 to 28–but it was the teenagers that took the spotlight today. Nineteen year old MoonPay X Games League free agent call up Miyu Ito (XC Tokyo) claimed gold with a technical, high-scoring run featuring a frontside boardslide on the handrail, 5-0 on the quarterpipe, backside tailslide on the box, blunt stall 180 out on the quarterpipe, frontside bluntslide on the A-frame rail, kickflip up the step-up, and frontside feeble grind on the handrail. The standout performance earned Ito her fifth career X Games medal and second X Games gold.
"I wanted to pick my lines smoothly and execute them as much as I could. I'm very happy. Each and every trick I did was specific, so I wanted to make each one as perfect as possible," said Ito.
Sixteen year old defending Women's Skateboard Street champion and No. 1 MoonPay X Games League draft pick Chloe Covell (XC New York) claimed silver, earning the ninth X Games medal of her career.
Liz Akama (XC Los Angeles) made a triumphant return to X Games competition after missing 2025 with an ankle injury, capturing bronze in her first appearance in two years. The 17-year-old has now reached the podium in seven of her last eight X Games starts across Women's Skateboard Street and Women's Skateboard Street Best Trick.

Widely recognized for having one of the cleanest kickflips in skateboarding, Miyu Ito (XC Tokyo call-up) captured her second X Games gold medal of the weekend, winning with a frontside bluntslide shuv-it out of the 12-stair handrail. The victory gave Ito her third career X Games gold and sixth career medal in just four X Games appearances. Known for her meticulous attention to both style and technical execution, Ito places as much emphasis on form as she does on progression when developing new tricks—a balance that has become a hallmark of her skating.
“I practice a lot to have a higher chance of landing my tricks. I’m really happy. Thank you, X Games,” said Ito.
Eighteen-year-old Paige Heyn (XC New York) earned silver after delivering a perfectly executed switch 50-50 on the 12-stair handrail. A product of Arizona's renowned skate scene, Heyn is recognized as one of the sport's most well-rounded skaters and among the first to consistently bring switch rail tricks into women's street competition, helping establish her as one of the discipline's top competitors.
Fourteen-year-old Ibuki Matsumoto (XC São Paulo) rounded out the podium with bronze, earning her second consecutive X Games medal in Women's Skateboard Street Best Trick. The rising Japanese star landed a kickflip frontside boardslide down the 12-stair handrail and continues to establish herself as one of the sport's brightest young talents.

Bringing the three-day action sports festival to a close, the MoonPay Women’s Skateboard Vert Final delivered a memorable finale as 11-year-old Mia Kretzer (XC LA) thrilled an energetic crowd with a standout run that showcased poise, confidence and remarkable talent beyond her years to earn the gold for her club. Kretzer was the youngest gold medalist at age nine and the youngest athlete drafted in the MoonPay X Games League this past March.
“I'm so excited. I'm so happy. I can't believe that I just won the gold medal. I just went and did my best and had everyone in the L.A. box supporting me, and I had everyone back home behind me. It was just so cool,” said Kretzer through joyful tears.”The trick that I'm most proud of is probably my seven doing it mid run for the first time was really cool!”
Defending gold medalist and seven-time X Games medalist Mizuho Hasegawa (XC Tokyo) snuck up behind in her last attempt to knock Bryce Wettstein out of podium contention to finish in second place. Asahi Kaihara earned her fourth X Games medal - a bronze
